This is great! Already installed on two laptops. Finder is frustrating, to say the least. Of course feature request time: some kind of search? Would be really nice to match against folder names (e.g. searching for "images" and filenames e.g. "logo")

  Thank you for your suggestion. Yes, I am planning to add a search function in the future.

This is really nice! "Waterfall-style" doesn't mean anything, though. What are you actually referring to? The lack of a simple, efficient image browser on Mac (or Windows, for that matter) has been a daily annoyance. This thing browses efficiently, lets you move files, and doesn't try to build a "database" that you have to maintain. Good job! Are there build instructions anywhere? I don't know how to resolve the missing frameworks. I tried cloning the project recursively, but this didn't add anything.

  Thank you. I will provide more detailed build steps later. Currently, it's not implemented via git submodules; you need to manually download the relevant dependencies to the specified location.

    Thanks! Oh yeah, one issue I noticed is that there's no Back button on the full-screen view, so there's no indication of how to get back to the gallery view.
